Tool Studio eMMC Error: can't find ram
- i. When Tool Studio displays the error "can't find ram", click Advance to display the list of the partitions contained in the firmware. If the RAM section is fade, check to make sure that RAM is present in that firmware folder.
ii. It is also possible that the RAM file is present but it is not named in the format Tool Studio recorgnises. The RAM should be named as: MPRG8936mbn or something similar. If you have the RAM file in that firmware folder, simply rename it accordingly.
